Talking about his relationship with Rachel, the duo kept their relationship hush-hush over the years. To mention, Rachel isn't married, at least what's known so far. The couple shares two kids, a son and a daughter. Rachel's son was born in 2018, and talking about the same, she shared that it's the greatest thing that ever happened to her.

To mention that Rachel and Rayn dated for a few years before they broke up in 2007.
The reason for their breakup was seemingly fame. It was Ryan, who, in an interview with GQ, shared that when both people are in the show business, then it's a lot of show business, and there's just nothing to grow. Ryan also shared how people were upset over his breakup with Rachel, and one even came up to him and smacked him for breaking up with the actress. Ryan said that he and Rachel were the ones who should get hugs, while they were the ones to hug people out. He said:
"Women are mad at me. A girl came up to me on the street and she almost smacked me. Like, ‘How could you? How could you let a girl like that go?’ I feel like I want to give people hugs, they seem so sad. Rachel and I should be the ones getting hugs! Instead, we’re consoling everybody else."
Ryan and Rachel's love story was extremely adorable. And it began as 'love at first fight', well, as it seems. In an interview with VH1, the director of The Notebook, Nick Cassavetes shared that the actor and the actress didn't get along one day on the set, leading Ryan to come up to him and ask him to take Rachel out. He recalled Ryan saying that he was not just getting anything with Rachel, thus he wasn't able to do anything. Nick recalled:
"Maybe I’m not supposed to tell this story, but they were really not getting along one day on set. Really not. And Ryan came to me, and there’s 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, ‘Nick come here.’ And he’s doing a scene with Rachel and he says, ‘Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?’ I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.’”
After her breakup with Gosling, Rachel dated Josh Lucas, as reported. The duo was first spotted in 2009, and that's when their relationship buzz began.
